Ah, summer! I've been thinking about vacation and next week we will be headed to the central Oregon coast for a 5-day respite, so I was inspired by ideas at two of my regular challenges: Tic Tac Toe and The Paper Players. Each of them had elements for me to borrow for this card.
I started this card by making a card base from an old sheet of bright blue water printed card stock with glitzy bubbles printed along one side. I left off the bubbles for the card base but used them for a smaller die cut rectangular panel that I matted with yellow and white papers before attaching the layers to the face of the card. I white heat-embossed the sentiment and then constructed a summery cocktail from Tim Holtz's "Happy Hour" die set. I struggled to make a glass with vellum (because I wanted it to be transparent) and ended up using two layers of vellum, inserting the drink and accompaniments between the layers. I don't think it was totally successful, but I'm sharing it anyway!

ReplyDeleteFran, this is such a cute card in celebration of your upcoming getaway to the beach! It's a great die cut and vellum works perfectly! Thanks so much for playing along this week with the Paper Players and enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteThat circle background for your cocktail is so lovely - really interesting. The vellum glass is such a perfect thing! Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players.
